Kessel is one of the top goal scorers in the NHL and he is being paid accordingly.
But the time isn't right for Calgary to make this move. Kessel is the kind of player you add to a great team to make it an elite team. He isn't the kind of guy you add to a rebuilding core. That is why Toronto is considering moving him.
We don't know enough about our future core to know what we need. We don't know enough about our future cap to know if Kessel fits. Plus it will cost us one of our young core pieces to acquire him, and that is moving us backwards.
